There is an interesting article in The Conversation today about research on bird genomes to trace their evolutionary origins and relationships

Tim Low wrote 'Where Song Began' about 10 years ago, on the subject of the origins of passerines in what is now Australia.  Its a few years since I read it, but if I recall correctly, he argued that modern songbirds originated in the southern hemisphere, moved north, and then there were re-colonisations of northern species moving south back into Australia.
